Fruit-loving Brits put on alert over blueberries and strawberries at supermarkets
People who go to Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Marks and Spencer for their food should take note. Brits who love incorporating tasty fruits into their meals have been put on alert this summer. People who go to Tesco, Sainsbury's, and Marks and Spencer for their food should take note of the latest positive update. Blueberries are thriving due to the warmest spring on record, with the harvest increasing by nearly a quarter so far this year, reports suggest. Approximately 5,133 tonnes are anticipated by the end of August, an increase from almost 4,187 tonnes at the same time last year. Sales of the round fruit have also risen by nine per cent year-on-year, according to fruit specialists and grocery analysts across the country. Those in the industry have said that the current crop is well ahead of schedule. This means Brits can enjoy "excellent" size and flavour from their favourite fruits, reports Birmingham Live. Daniel Martin, the group commercial director at S&A Produce, comments: "This blueberry season has seen a really positive early start, about two weeks ahead of schedule, thanks to strong light levels and an absence of rain. "As a result, we're seeing excellent fruit size and nice, even ripening across the crop. In summary, we are optimistic about the season and expect to see excellent flavour and shelf life from this year's crop." Jim Floor, the managing director of Hall Hunter, one of the UK's leading blueberry growers, stated: "When it comes to robotic fruit picking, we're seeing steady and encouraging progress from robotics and automation companies. "However, the technology isn't quite ready for widespread commercial adoption just yet." Nick Marston, the chair of the industry body British Berry Growers, said that all UK berry crops, including strawberries, raspberries and blackberries, were up by about 25 per cent. "The weather has been very beneficial for all berry crops," he said. This follows a similar announcement two months ago, indicating that strawberries at Tesco, Sainsbury's, and M&S were on track for an exceptional yield. Bartosz Pinkosz of the Summer Berry Company, which supplies major retailers, previously alerted UK households that his West Sussex farm was producing berries so large you "cannot fit in your mouth". Speaking to The Guardian two months ago, Mr Pinkosz stated: "I have genuinely never seen a harvest produce such large berries consistently. "Some are supersized – growing to the size of plums or even kiwi fruits." He added that recent weather had been "phenomenal" for the berries. For those who fancy choosing their own berries rather than heading to their nearest supermarket, some of the best spots in Scotland for strawberry picking have been named. Cairnie Fruit Farm in Cupar, Fife, topped the list thanks to its 45 acres of fruit fields that offers visitors the chance to pick a range of summer favourites, including strawberries, raspberries, cherries and blackcurrants. Making up the top three were Craigies Farming Deli and Cafe in South Queensferry and Charleton Farm in Montrose, Angus. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

One eagle-eyed shopper spotted the Spaceways 6 Tier Plastic Storage stack in their local store and immediately took to social media to share their find. The huge set of shelves can be ranged in a variety of ways, from three separate stands to one tall stack. It is perfect for storing pictures, plants or books and has dimensions of 38.5 x 33 x 151cm. The shelf comes in black and, according to B&M, it is 'easy' to assemble. The set costs just £20, but, according to B&M, stocks are low. The customer who spotted the item posted their find in Extreme Couponing and Bargains UK group on Facebook and shoppers from across the country have gone wild. One excited Facebook user posted: 'ooop need this for plant pots!!!!' Another said that they loved the original poster's way of setting their shelves up, saying: 'Ooooo I like how you've put it together. Fab idea. I want one now.' Others had creative ideas of their own, with one clever shopper saying: 'This could be good to use as shelving in a shed.' Shoppers are racing to B&M for Molly-Mae's latest collection & there are some incredible scents for less than a fiver The news comes after another wave of B&M's products went viral on social media. The Boucel Barstool in Beige is currently retailing for just £1, instead of the usual price of £20. According to one customer though, only the beige barstool is on sale - meaning fans are racing to shops before it sells out.

The sell-out product costs £149 and comes in a light, summery design which makes it perfect for enjoying the warmer weather. Meanwhile, Tesco's own rattan-set is retailing for just £16 as it clears its shelves. Originally costing £25, the supermarket has slashed £9 off the cost of the popular garden product. When comparing products, it is important to check the specifications so you buy the item that is best suited for your purposes.

Simply type in keywords, or a product number, to bring up search results. Price Spy logs the history of how much something costs from over 3,000 different retailers, including Argos, Amazon, eBay and supermarkets. Once you select an individual product you can quickly compare which stores have the best price and which have it in stock. Idealo is another website that lets you compare prices between retailers. All shoppers need to do is search for the item they need and the website will rank them from the cheapest to the most expensive one. CamelCamelCamel only works on goods being sold on Amazon.
